about justine platt
Justine Platt graduated from Oxford University, England. Starting in supply chain management, production planning, and sales for clothing manufacturer Coats Viyella in London and Northern Ireland, she learned a lot about the language and culture of the Irish during her stays at a textile factory in Ireland!
While working at L.L. Bean, based in Freeport, Maine in inventory planning, buying, and merchandising, Justine connected with the locals while fishing and cross-country skiing. L.L. Bean was where she learned to under-promise and over-deliver.
As a product manager at Charlottesville-area Plow and Hearth, Justine was dubbed the “taste police” during merchandising team meetings. As William Morris wrote, “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”
Justine managed product design, pricing, presentation, and international sourcing at Plow and Hearth for a range of products including food, textiles, and home décor. She developed exclusive designs incorporating both licensed and commissioned art in a new collaboration with artists.
Justine’s work as a Community Engagement, Creative, Event Planning, and Marketing Specialist for the past 16 years includes all aspects of product development and marketing: branding, product and packaging design, marketing, event planning, website design, social media management, collaboration with social influencers, trade shows, content creation, styling, and photography. Justine serves as an advisor for the Central Virginia Small Business Development Center working with clients on marketing and communications.
Justine loves to create exceptional experiences for all. It is Justine’s love of community, creativity, and connection that guide her.
